so so so so so.
I have wanted this prompt filled for AGES but no one has had the time to do it so I'm going to ask you.
of course I would like it to be Shell but if you see it being PERFECT for anyone else of course take it and run with it, but I think you'll find that it suits Shell best.
...or maybe I just have my rose-coloured shipper goggles on.
REGARDLESS. This is a passage from The Drowsy Chaperone.
"Is she saying "live while you can,", or "leave while you can,"? I mean, it's Beatrice Stockwell, so it might just be a cynical quip, but this is a wedding after all and that's exactly what you think when you're standing at the altar, isn't it, "Live" or "Leave" and you have to live. Because you do love her in some way. It's not an exact science. An arrow doesn't come down out of the sky and point to the one you're supposed to be with. So, one day you say it to someone, you say "I love you" and you basically phrase it as a question, but they accept it as fact and then suddenly there she is standing in front of you in a three thousand dollar dress with tears in her eyes, and her nephew made the huppah, so what do you do? Do you say I was kidding, I was joking? No, you can't! You live, right? You choose to live. And for a couple of months you stare at the alien form in bed beside you and you think to yourself "Who are you? Who are you?" And one day you say it out loud...then it's a trial separation and couples counseling and all your conversations are about her eating disorder and your Zoloft addiction, and you're constantly redefining and re-evaluating and revisiting before you finally lose the deposit on your house and the whole "relationship" ends on a particularly ugly note with your only copy of Gypsy spinning through the air and smashing against the living room wall. But still, in the larger sense, a broader sense, it's better to have lived than left, right?"
You can make of that what you will. I don't expect you to take that verbatim. I'm the angst queen for Shell and even I'm not sure if I would like it as angsty as that.
But regardless. Have a ball. And if you don't feel like you're having a ball, just don't do the prompt. I can hunt someone (read: Zoe) down.

ALETHEA. I am going to try my best to fill this! It’s probably going to be Shell :3 I haven’t written them in awhile, so my apologies if it isn’t too in character. I’m going to attack this now, so…fingers crossed it turns out well!
